There is the following simple method, quite suitable for preparing wax for waxing expensive wooden furniture. Take 100 g of good yellow wax, finely chop it and add 12 g of mastic or 25 g of rosin powder. These substances are put into an earthen vessel and dissolved on coals. When the whole mass is melted, it is removed from the fire and 50 g of warm turpentine is immediately added. Everything is thoroughly stirred and poured into a tin or stone jar.

In this form, the composition is stored until use. To polish furniture, take a small amount of the composition on a piece of woolen cloth and rub the wood, which quickly acquires a very beautiful and soft sheen.

Furniture waxed in this way retains a beautiful polish for a very long time.

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Dogs rely on others 03.10.2015

Dogs are much friendlier than wolves, including towards humans. Wolves have great difficulty understanding human gestures, do not like to make eye contact and do not run after a thrown stick (they can be taught to play, but again with much more difficulty than dogs). Usually high sociality, the ability to establish and maintain contact with another is considered a sign of high intellectual development, so the conclusion that sociable dogs are smarter than their fearsome wild relatives suggests itself.

Experiments seem to confirm this: if a dog and a wolf are faced with an unsolvable task - for example, if they need to open a container of food, but it does not open in any way - then the dog, after a little fiddling, will run to ask for help from the owner, while the wolf will continue to try to overcome the insurmountable . In other words, the dog can adequately assess the task, but the wolf cannot.

But if you change the conditions of the experiment: let the task be quite easy for yourself - how will the wolves and dogs behave? Monique Udell of Oregon State University did just that: 10 dogs and 10 wolves (who grew up next to humans) had to get a piece of sausage from a box that was fairly easy to open by pulling on a string. Shelter dogs were also taken into the experiment, which served as a "middle point" between socialized domestic dogs and wolves.

In one case, the animal was left alone with the box, in the other, a person was also nearby; 2 minutes were given to get a treat. The wolves, left alone, guessed how to open the box in 8 out of 10 cases. Of the ten shelter dogs, only one solved the problem, and none of the domestic dogs could get to the treat. Almost the same thing happened when a person was standing nearby, with one exception - one of the domestic dogs was still able to open the container herself. But on the other hand, all the dogs, as usual, looked at the person for a long time, while the wolves devoted more time to solving the problem on their own.

In the second part of the experiment, those dogs were taken who could not get the sausage. This time, the man was not just standing next to them, but gesticulating and talking to the animals, encouraging the dogs to keep trying. The social stimulus worked well for the shelter dogs, four of which were able to take the treat, and as for the house dogs, only one of them opened the box again. However, when prompted by a person, the dogs spent more time trying to cope with the task. Here it must be emphasized once again that the task was very simple, and the dogs could solve it, but they preferred to wait for help from outside.

It turns out that wolves and dogs use different strategies of behavior: the former rely on their own strength, while the latter rely on, shall we say, social connections, even if such behavior turns out to be useless in the end. Only when the social partner, that is, the person, confirms that what needs to be done must be done, the dogs still make some independent efforts. The reason for this probably lies in the peculiarities of the upbringing of dogs, which are constantly told what not to do, so they get used to waiting for instructions rather than taking the initiative. In addition, domestic dogs have been living in greenhouse conditions side by side with people for thousands of years and are already accustomed to the fact that the owner will come to the rescue in case of emergency.

However, it does not follow from this that wolves are smarter than dogs, just that both use different "forms of the mind." Dogs rely on a social tool when you ask for help and use not your own paws and teeth, but someone else's hands. The wolves have nowhere to wait for help, so they have to manage on their own. On the other hand, here we should not forget that the motivation for both can be different: wolves are more motivated than dogs by food, which can explain the wolf's diligence in getting the sausage out of the box.
